Rennes, France - South African international striker Kermit Erasmus has joined Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennais on a 30-month deal from Orlando Pirates, the Brittany club said on Thursday.
The 25-year-old has played eight games for the national side and has represented South Africa at several age levels.
Since joining the Soweto-based outfit in 2013, Erasmus scored 13 goals in 51 games for the Pirates.
Rennes is fourth in Ligue 1 and its new coach Rolland Courbis is targeting a second-placed finish for the current campaign behind runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain.
